  Lingard is currently plying his trade in South Korea after joining FC Seoul in February. The 31-year-old moved to Asia in an attempt to revive his career, but it's not exactly been plain sailing. The midfielder was called out by his head coach in March for a lack of effort and has also battled injury problems.
